RE: Multisite CVS, Continous Availability and other goodies ...

[Matt Doar]

This is a useful-looking product. Reading the website, I have two
questions:

1) It would appear that this doesn't work with ssh yet. Is that correct?
The white paper does say that CVS_RSH is supported, but it's not clear.

2) If I commit changes in one directory in one repository, and a
colleague is using another repository, and the changes are being
propagated by CVS Replicator, then how do I know when can I tell my
colleague that they should update? 

This is assuming that (as far as a user can tell) the network and
servers are operating as normal. I know about CVS commits only being
atomic per directory.
